Thank you for visiting the Pack 684 website - - PACK 684 is a Gold Standard Pack and winner of the National Summertime Award seeking excellence in everything we do in providing the best program possible for the scouts!

What differentiates us from the other outstanding Packs executing BSA aims to develop scouts character, citizen, and personal fitness PREPARING BOYS FOR LIFE? We are an ACTIVE Pack characterized by FUN, creativity, servant leadership, purpose, organization, and a sense of family. The largest Pack in the District (approximately 90 scouts out of 1,000 in the District) but with a small town feel; 1 in every 4 eligible boys at Sangster Elementary School is in Pack 684. We have scouts from Newington Forest and local private schools as well. Our size provides a level of adult activism that is hard to beat.

Pack 684 offers assistance to families in need so that financial hardship will not be a bar to Scouting for any boy. All decisions on assistance are made on a case-by-case basis and will remain a private matter between that family and the Pack leadership.

You might find the other attachments useful as well such as "About Us", "Cub Scout Basics", and "Cub Scout Levels" in the menu to the left. You might also wish to go to BeaScout.org or Scouting.org. The photos of sample Pack activities attached may take a few moments to open. If you're considering scouting, we would welcome the opportunity to have you join us for an outing and see who we are and what we do.

Two service projects... one day! So, the Webelos are raking and all other ranks are requested to put in an hour for Scouting for Food (Lions optional). As patrons enter Giant, scouts will ask for a donation of food for the Lorton Community Action Center. They then collect donations as patrons leave and sort them into shopping baskets. The sorters will also need to carry these donations to the truck where our Boy Scout assistant will weigh/calculate the total donation collected by our Pack. At the end of the collection period, we will drive the truck over to the LCAC, 9518 Richmond Highway, to unload (If you sign up for this time slot, just meet us there). We need some nice strong scouts to assist unloading the truck. We also need at least one Den Leader present for each hour we are at Giant. Questions? Don't hesitate to ask!

Free to a good home, our 2-lane, 32 foot (four 8 feet sections) antique wooden Pinewood Derby track. It's a little bumpy down the track and nothing like Pack 684's aluminum track. But, it has served Ethan well and he is ready to pass it on to someone who will enjoy using it with their friends. It's seen countless hours of track time with Ethan and his friends and really helped us build better cars since we purchased it. (Note that its assembled size is 32 feet. That requires a pretty large straight and flat space). Dog in photo for scale! Craig

Thanks to all the families that came out to celebrate Back To Scouting night this evening. Below is the ppt deck we presented tonight. To save you the digging, here are the key dates we shared with parents:

This weekend my family and the Leach family attended Family Camping Weekend at Goshen Scout Reservation in Goshen Virginia. BLUF: this was a fun, family-centric event that we *HIGHLY ENCOURAGE* you to consider including in your future Labor Day plans.
